    By the way I'm getting an error by trying to start a conversation:

    Nofap Error: "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."

    You guys know what this might be?

    hey guys...
    after a couple of setbacks at the start of september I was kinda down and demotivated to come back here.
    But Im on day 2 now and Im back because it shouldnt go on like this.
    Its better to make no progress at all than reverse progress. This Forum helps me to stay in the line and so I should stay here (and not only tell so) . On the other hand I shouldnt blame myself too much because its a stress factor and sth that leads me more and more towards the next relapse ...damn.
    Greets out!

    Checking in with the Fellowship on Day 5. I must be in Bree, I guess?

    My partner is re-reading the LOTR books (her sixth time -- she is insane) so I get to follow along while I'm doing this challenge, making secret comparisons about where the hobbits are on their journey and where I am. I've read them twice. There is a great comfort in imagining you're in the Shire at this time of the year, around Bilbo's birthday when the story begins, the leaves are falling, the days are cooling, and the nights are lengthening.

    But my reading list is as long as my arm, so I'll settle for The Rings Of Power series. Anyone else think it's surprisingly good?

    Director's Cut (the only one worth watching) clocks in at over 3:30 hours for the first two and 4 hours for Return of the King.

    I agree with you, it's one thing to turn to sex with a woman and it's another to return to MO. He has returned to daily MO, at least no porn but I believe that it will harm him in the end. I hope it doesn't, but that is my opinion on the matter.

    Checking in Fellowship Friends!

    58 Days Free of PMO.

    I believe withdrawal has creeped in over the last few days, I feel this looming anxiety, body inflammation and head pressure. The positive in this, it's not debilitating as it was back in my first long streak. I will rest again today, meditation and aim to practice mindfulness in the actions I take throughout the day. I feel as though my mind tends to wander a lot, not to thoughts of PMO, but still to things that are irrelevant or even frustrating.

    Stay Strong!

    Day 18 no PMO. I have been battling sickness now for well over a week. Longest I can ever remember being sick. I have serious cold symptoms and then I think the meds I’m taking are messing up my stomach. It’s a viscous cycle. I’m hopeful this will end in another day nor two.

    1 day. Destroyed my iphone and ipad. Got the brain rewire program from Dr. Trish Leigh. Did the first lesson. Please God, help me keep sober for good.

    Wow that had to be that bad. Similar to someone here in the forums who used to own a VR headset knowing they will do PMO. I'm glad I didn't have to do that with my VR headset because of no urges to do that compared to PC. Well done brother :emoji_clap:

    Ok, I wanted to share this video but I thought this was funny. I was thinking about this any way and one my family friend told me to watch this film in the past. Finally watched this before I started this journey here. This is a true story in certain aspect about me but it is mostly true for other guys here in the forums describing their experience :emoji_laughing:

    Actually, it was one the success stories here that have experience this.

    Maybe a more reason motivate you guys to stop your PMO addictions?

    I am starting to wonder why am I not as horny these days because of all past PMO use? PIED because of excessive PMO use?

    For this movie scene, PED (Performance Enhancing Drugs)+ PMO = ED I believe.

    I did experience no libido at one point which is totally relatable from this video for a reason. That was horrible, I had zero desire for sex. Bring out all my favorite type of women or P stars and I still wouldn't get a hard on when it is time for sex.

    Have you ever experience this? You still like women but you have zero desire for sex? And I mean zero desire to the point where you have one super attractive nude ready to have sex but you still can't get your Johnson up when it time for sex...just wondering. That would suck. Your Johnson stops working :emoji_laughing::emoji_sob:

    Checking in Fellowship!

    Was feeling great yesterday, but had a wet dream last night and today i´m tired and nervous. shit!

    i think it was part my responsability because last night i was chatting with my wife with a sensual provocative tone, and maybe that created some kind of arousal during sleep. don´t know. i even don´t remember the dream i had. i just woke up soaked :confused::confused:

    but even without the wet dream, my behaviour was strange. i reflected on why i started the sensual innuendo and realize i was a bit nervous and off balance due to a personal unfinished business. i was not myself actually, but didn´t grounded my feelings, and got carried away.

    i will try to fix my unfinished stuff today, at least a chunk of it, and be aware of my emotions. i intend to keep doing monk mode, but as days goes by, it feels more like i´m counting the days, instead of making them count. i don´t want to do sex, that´s the truth. not yet.

    so i will keep following my strategy until 90 days as my primary goal, then switch to normal mode. this is the vow that i make to all of you, and today is a particular challenging day due to the chaser. but i will stand my ground.

    Have a great day Fellowship! Onwards!!!

    Day 399

    Day 3 IF, no sugar. So far so good. Went running again and was boring but I already see the benefits.. I have more energy and I'm a little faster mentally.

    Checking in day 299. Urges went down but still 2 cold showers and an onion at dinner to keep colds from coughing and sneezing people away.;) @Ready to Stop try to add onions and sufficient physical activity like walking to your cold fighting strategies.
